Jessa Mae is one of hundreds of people in the Philippines who was recently been given a hearing aid as part of a special project.

The teenager is joined by 28-year-old Eugene and 59-year-old Isagani for a free hearing aid fitting. And it's a wonderful moment to behold.

When Eugene was younger, he had a life-threatening fever which sadly led to him going deaf. Meanwhile Isagani, who has built a school for deaf children, says that he wants to be able to hear his kids play their instruments "more than anything".
